10 Obscure Cult Horror Films

4. I Drink Your Blood (1970)

05.02.2013drink Usually tacked on to a double bill with the exceedingly lame I Eat Your Skin, I drink your blood is another anti-hippie exploitation cult horror film which is a lot of fun to watch, if only to watch the stupid hippie idiots get turned into mindless savages. A group of Manson-esque hippies set up camp in a town and begin to menace the locals. They rape a local girl and when her grandfather goes to exact revenge, they feed him LSD. Their shenanigans have particularly angered the old man's grandson. He starts off with a shotgun in order to blast them all but he encounters a dog with rabies. A far more ingenious plan enters his head. He shoots the dog and injects its rabies infected blood into meat pies that he knows the hippies will eat. Inevitably, the hippies turn into raving lunatics, killing anyone or anything that gets in their way. Another film directed on a zero budget, I Drink Your Blood is great fun for gorehounds, with lots of bloodshed spattering across the screen. The dialogue is silly and the acting dumb but you cannot take your eyes away from the screen because there is something outrageous happening almost every minute. There are rabid hippies with a load of murderous implements to keep you amused. A pregnant hippie stabs herself in the stomach! If you like this kind of graphic, sleazy, low budget schlock fest, then check out I Drink Your Blood - it delivers all the goods and more.
